[‘Les Mococos’: Lesson, Spécies Mamm., 222-224, 1840; Nouv. Tableau Régne 
Anim., Mamm., 10, 1842.] 
TROUESSART, Rev. et Mag. de Zool., 3° ser., VI, No. 6, p. 163, 1878 (synonym 
of Lemur); Cat. Mamm. Viv. et Foss., Primates, 34, jv (synonym of Lemur). 
Lesson used ‘les Mococos’ as a subgenus of Prosimia for Lemur catta Linnzeus, 
but gave the group no Latin name. Trouessart merely quotes Lesson’s name as 
Mococo in the synonymy of Lemur without recognizing the subgenus.

adopted by Buffon (Hist. Nat., XJII, 173, 184, 1765).
